  Superman 2 longer version on Vudu
Posted by: Booshman - 2016-12-13, 02:49 AM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (22)

Check this out, apparently the cut of Superman 2 on Vudu is 6 minutes longer and has the deleted scene where Non kills a boy in tact, and in widescreen.

Is anyone able to grab this?

  Terminator 2 Japanese DVD CDS Mix

Hi guys, was it ever proven that the original 5.1 CDS mix was released in Japan on DVD in DTS in the early days before the 6.1 rehash or was it an urban myth?

  Big Trouble in Little China - Netflix HD Master
Posted by: zoidberg - 2016-12-12, 11:44 PM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (26)

As I touched upon in my previous thread regarding Die Hard, there is a version of John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China currently streaming on netflix which is different to that on blu ray. When I say different, it's most definitely different:

 [Image: 290e50520021227.jpg] [Image: a87a25520021235.jpg] [Image: 88895c520021247.jpg] [Image: 1eeead520021256.jpg] [Image: ca6728520021266.jpg] [Image: bef65c520021273.jpg] [Image: 5cfbe1520021280.jpg] [Image: e7e7e1520021288.jpg] 
It looks to be a new scan, I'm wondering if a certain Mr. Cundey was involved?

edit: Here are the links. I'm still figuring this out

  Die Hard - New HD Master on Netflix?
Posted by: zoidberg - 2016-12-10, 11:27 PM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (150)

Hi guys hope everyone's enjoying their weekend. Whenever an old, 'catalogue' title shows up on netflix I always have a look to see if the master they are using is the same as the Blu ray. Usually it's the same (save compression/filtering), sometimes it isn't. Sure enough the versions of Die Hard they are streaming right now is different. Obviously there's been talk of a 4K restoration of Die Hard that has yet to materialise on Blu ray- could this be from that master? Unfortunately being on netflix means that it is somewhat bitstarved but sure enough there seems to be more detail, especially in static shots and close ups. Also the transfer seems to be rock solid in terms of telecine wobble and there are scenes which have been timed differently with some teal grading here and there.

I've trawled the net for more info but no-one else seems to be discussing this. Am I barking up the wrong tree? In any case I have captured the film to my hard drive and perhaps there's a project to be had from this. All I know from the past is that the 4k master for Robocop showed up on Netflix before the blu ray... I should also note that I'm in the UK and I don't know if it's the same across Europe/The States.

I should mention that there is a different, possibly 4k master of John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China on netflix too but trust me, that deserves it's own thread.

Question Using DVD/BD menus, and videogame footage, for projects
Posted by: spoRv - 2016-12-04, 09:10 PM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (7)

I'm working of the extended edition of Star Wars saga (http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wa...p/id/52131) and I thought to use also the DVD menus - which are really beautiful, and even a small snippet from a live action part of a videogame.


***

Clip 1: I covered the menu writing with a frame without them; sadly, not perfect, I've used an interpolation avisynth script to reconstruct the frames with no corresponding writing-free ones; I've cut part of the usable image and made a "patchwork"; at the end I have 8 frames with the top perfect, and bottom reconstructed; I made everything in MSpaint, in a rush, so forgive me for the mediocre result - bit hey, it's just a test clip, after all!.
Before, I tried to use logo removal tool, but there are too many writings, and result was unsatisfactory; I thought also to reduce the mask used for the overlay somehow, using multiple languages menus, but I have available only English and Italian, so a median could not be used... if anyone has Star Wars DVDs with other languages, I'd like to try the theory.

* Episode 5 - possible intro to add before the project files

Test clip - used DVD menu and replaced parts covered with writings - 24s 30MB   (download link valid until 2017-02-02)
https://fs12n2.sendspace.com/dl/ad268ab3...l-fixed.ts

***

Clip 2: taken the untouched menu video, upscaled to 1080p, grain plate, cropped conveniently and readded black borders to have a coherent aspect ratio with the rest of the movie; fast color correction of the movie part, to be in line with the menu colors; audio is from the movie.

* **Episode 5 - Darth Vader and Luke encounter is "enhanced"**

Test clip - used a pan & zoom take instead of a static take; taken from DVD menu - 31s 40MB  (download link valid until 2017-02-02)
https://fs11n5.sendspace.com/dl/fac55711...u-test2.ts

***


Clip 3: I finally found the Episode 3 ‘extended Count Dooku duel’ from the videogame… it’s just 3s shot, but, as it’s Christopher Lee, and it fits quite well, I decided to put it in; original quality is low, so final result isn’t perfect - it’s in color, at least - but we are talking about a 2005 PS2 game, and the cinematic sequence is also windowboxed…
For this, I just cropped the video game image, converted fps to 23.976, denoise, upscale, grain plate, and reinse

* **Episode 3 - Dooku says "Just because there are two of you, do not assume you have the advantage."**

Test clip - 3s cut dialog reinserted in the movie from Playstation 2 videogame - 12s 16MB (download link valid until 2017-02-01)
https://fs01n2.sendspace.com/dl/3e47b698...%20test.ts

I'm working really hard on this project, that, I fear, will take all my time dedicated to restoration - but I wanted to make it so much, since really long time, so... feedbacks are not only REALLY welcome, but extremely NEEDED! Big Grin

  [proposal] Robocop - Theatrical Cut
Posted by: alexpeden2000 - 2016-12-04, 03:11 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (96)

I know this was talked about over at OT but as far as I know it's not been done yet so here goes...


Having grown up watching the theatrical cut on British tv (complete with the hilarious replacement swear words) it's always been my preferred version. The extra violence in the directors cut seems OTT - some will say that's the point but to me it uneccessarily distracts from what's a very good sci-fi/action film.

I recently got a hold of the old 'unreleased' theatrical BD from the 'organ (thanks AntcuFaalb) and it actually looks pretty good but obviously not asd good as the 4k remaster directors cut.

http://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&x=541&...0&i=5&go=1


What I was thinking of doing is trying to match the colur of the theatrical to the directors cut and then using sections of it to recreate the theatrical cut:

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions let me know...
